NAME

curl_mime_filename - set a mime part's remote filename

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_mime_filename(curl_mimepart *part,
const char *filename);

DESCRIPTION

curl_mime_filename(3) sets a mime part's remote filename. When remote filename is set, content data is processed as a file, whatever is the part's content source. A part's remote filename is transmitted to the server in the associated Content-Disposition generated header. part is the part's handle to assign the remote filename to. filename points to the null-terminated filename string; it may be set to NULL to remove a previously attached remote filename. The remote filename string is copied into the part, thus the associated storage may safely be released or reused after call. Setting a part's file name multiple times is valid: only the value set by the last call is retained.

PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects http, imap and smtp

EXAMPLE

static char imagebuf[]="imagedata";
int main(void)
{
curl_mime *mime;
curl_mimepart *part;
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
/* create a mime handle */
mime = curl_mime_init(curl);
/* add a part */
part = curl_mime_addpart(mime);
/* send image data from memory */
curl_mime_data(part, imagebuf, sizeof(imagebuf));
/* set a file name to make it look like a file upload */
curl_mime_filename(part, "image.png");
/* set name */
curl_mime_name(part, "data");
}
}

AVAILABILITY
